personal messageCAUTION: IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE YOU MAY NOT LIKE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ON MY PAGE BUT I ONLY SPEAK THE TRUTH HERE I'd just like to say, as black people we need to stop
blaming.other races for the problems in our community and start
holding ourselves and our local leadership/government
accountable
I see a lot of us on here have those pictures on our pages
drinking at the club and concerts and that is fine. But that is the
problem with us, when its free to get in the club or $1.00 drinks
til 11:00 we have our a$$es there standing outside the club in
lines wrapped around the building but when the call comes to become
involved in issues that are important politically and in our
communities we are overwhelmingly absent. Lets stop investing in
rims and clothes and start investing in real estate and those mid
cap and emerging market 401 (k) funds. Lets start being more
proactive instead of reactive. Lets start demanding change and
demanding better from our local leadership and our schools. Lets
make our leadership and schools work for the tax money they deduct
from our paychecks. Lets vote and make change after all our
ancestors died for us to have that right. Lets stop accepting
mediocrity and strive to be extraordinary. Lets stop standing still
and start a new movement. Lets start standing for something instead
of falling for anything. Lets stop not caring and start giving a
damn. Lets stop being shallow and looking at what's on the surface
and start digging deeper and exploring. Lets stop questioning
Barack Obama's blackness and start opening our eyes and ears to see
his vision and listen to his message. Lets stop living beyond our
means to keep up with the Jonses and start saving more. Lets stop
reading less of vibe magazine and start reading more of Time,
Newsweek, Free Press and Detroit News. Lets stop watching less of
BET and start watching more of CNN and MSNBC, Lets start listening
less to FM 98 and 102.7 and turn on WCHB 1200 AM and stay up on
current events. Lets start searching for the truth instead of
believeing everything we see on TELL-LIE-VISION. Lets spend less
time at the mall buying new outfits and in the mirror to get ready
for a night out on the town and spend more QUALITY time with these
kids and going to parent/teacher conferences and take an interest
in their extra curricular activities. We need to get off this light
skin/dark skin who's better than who bullshyt. We need to start
supporting each other instead of hating on each other. Talk about
Jews, Chinese, Japanese all you want but the reason why they have
and we don't have is because they support each other and see the
bigger picture but we would rather look at the much smaller picture
sitting in the headrest of a car we are flossnig around in.
